| Give me back my broken night
|
| My mirrored room, my secret life
|
| it's lonely here, there's no one left to torture
|
| Give me absolute control
|
| Over every living soul
|
| And lie beside me, baby, that's an order!
|
| Give me crack and anal sex
|
| Take the only tree that's left
|
| and stuff it up the hole in your culture
|
| Give me back the Berlin wall
|
| give me Stalin and St Paul
|
| I've seen the future, brother:
|
| it is murder.
|
| Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
|
| Won't be nothing
|
| Nothing you can measure anymore
|
| The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
|
| has crossed the threshold
|
| and it has overturned
|
| the order of the soul.
|
| When they said REPENT REPENT
|
| I wonder what they meant
|
| When they said REPENT REPENT
|
| I wonder what they meant
|
| When they said REPENT REPENT
|
| I wonder what they meant.
|
| You don't know me from the wind
|
| you never will, you never did
|
| I'm the little Jew
|
| who wrote the Bible
|
| I've seen the nations rise and fall
|
| I've heard their stories, heard them all
|
| but love's the only engine of survival
|
| You're servant here, he has been told
|
| to say it clear, to say it cold:
|
| It's over, it ain't going any further
|
| And now the wheels of heaven stop
|
| you feel the devil's riding crop
|
| Get ready for the future:
|
| it is murder.
|
| Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
|
| Won't be nothing
|
| Nothing you can measure anymore
|
| The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
|
| has crossed the threshold
|
| and it has overturned
|
| the order of the soul.
|
| When they said REPENT REPENT
|
| I wonder what they meant
|
| When they said REPENT REPENT
|
| I wonder what they meant
|
| When they said REPENT REPENT
|
| I wonder what they meant.
|
| There'll be the breaking of the ancient western code
|
| Your private life will suddenly explode
|
| There'll be phantoms
|
| There'll be fires on the road
|
| and the white man dancing
|
| You'll see a woman
|
| hanging upside down
|
| her features covered by her fallen gown
|
| and all the lousy little poets coming round
|
| tryin' to sound like Charlie Manson
|
| and the white man dancin'.
|
| Give me back the Berlin wall
|
| Give me Stalin and St Paul
|
| Give me Christ
|
| or give me Hiroshima
|
| Destroy another fetus now
|
| We don't like children anyhow
|
| I've seen the future, baby:
|
| it is murder. |
